Welcome #2

Ditto the above, including "if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page".
If you wish less public communication, feel free to email me by: 1) click on this: Special:Emailuser; 2) enter pdfpdf into the box; and 3) click on "Submit".

By-the-way (Changing subject):
1) I've added some information for you on Talk:Army Combat Badge#Contested deletion.
2) On the matter of copyvio:

the text this is 'copied' from is an Army Instruction (Army) (DI(A)) - That's usually the problem. The ADF generally puts copyrights on pretty-well everything, (particularly web pages). Interestingly, the two DI(A) PERS we've been looking at do NOT have copyright statements on them, so it's probably safe to copy them.
Note that 'unclassified' does NOT mean that something is not under copyright. (The whole of www.defence.gov.au that is accessible to the public is unclassified, but most of it is copyright.)
Similarly, "Uncontrolled if printed" does not mean that something is not under copyright per se. (However, most things that have that label seem not to be classified, and not copyright.)

BTW #2

There used to be an Australian Military History talk page, but it now seems to have merged into Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history. Never-the-less, Australians have a strong presence there. Also, some very useful people keep an eye on that page, so if you have any "difficult" questions, that page is a good place to ask them. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 15:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
